Letter to the Editor: Bicycles for inmates proposal

Dear Editor and community,

I would like to start a bike program for inmates that are upon release to be given a bike to ride to achieve their new goals and dreams or even just to Cruel Jack's truck stop. I feel that a donation pile would be greatly healthy due to being on the way to the local landfill, and the detention center being right there! I would like to donate at least beginning with one day of my time a month for the rest of my short stay on this Earth being that we are not promised tomorrow. I have been a successful mechanic and skilled technician for many years of my life and could build several bikes in one day per month...as I will ask for donations. Not many people these days are too willing to pick up hitchhikers with a bag of papers upon being let out of jail quite a ways out here. And it would be good for his or her heart for the exercise to say the least. Say a bottle of water and an apple or orange and a bike to have upon release would be positive for all in part. Thank you.
